    Transitioning to adulthood can be stressful and challenging for all, but for those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their caregivers transitioning to adulthood can provoke feeling of uncertainty or even fear. People with ASD function at different levels and require varying degrees of care. There should be an individualized educational plan (IEP) established by age 16 containing postsecondary goals related to training, education, employment, and independent living skills along with the transition services needed to assist in reaching those goals referred to as individualized transition plan (ITP) (Heward, 2013). Defining the needs of young adults with ASD should start with listening to the individual and helping him or her plan for the life he or she wants. When establishing an ITP, goals in education/training, employment and independent living; type of support needed on a job; residential alternatives; and interventions for any behavioral problems should be addressed.…

    Any decision that Monica made she was nervous about and needed other people’s thoughts on it. She doesn’t feel comfortable being herself because she believes people will not like her and leave her. Monica tells her friend, “I was up till 2:30 doing my hair poll”. This is showing she would rather exhaust herself with what other people will like on her instead of picking a hairstyle she liked for herself. “You are debating that or state?” Liz asked. She feels once she goes to the college no one knows her at and her friends will leave her and never talk to her. Also, she feels like she will make a mistake and people will think she is not perfect. Before going to prom Liz and Monica look for a dress and Monica states, “I really like it”. She understands that she can like things on her own and it doesn’t matter what other people think about it.…

    Whether they’re enthralled by it, appalled by it, or concerned by it, I think it’s safe to say that everyone has an opinion on the Amanda Byne’s meltdown. The alleged marijuana bong-tossing incident, setting fire in a stranger’s driveway, getting into multiple car accidents (hit and runs), wearing ratty wigs, humorously denying her odd behavior, calling each and every critic of hers “ugly” via her Twitter feed, and getting evicted from her apartment, an endless amount of people are weighing in on it, attempting to get to the bottom of the child-star’s meltdown. Is it schizophrenia? Or is she simply a helpless victim of what stardom and countless amounts of money can do to you? I believe that she has unfortunately ruined her image. She is displaying all the characteristics of the psychological disorder Schizophrenia. She has totally changed as a person, when only three years back she was starring in major films, and was an actress to look up to. Much like Lindsay Lohan's infamous meltdown, Amanda Bynes has proven to herself, and the public, that she has gone crazy, with obvious evidence through her actions.…

    On September 7, 2012, Amanda Todd posted a 9-minute YouTube video entitled “My Story: Struggling, Bullying, Suicide and Self Harm,” which showed her using flash cards to reveal her experiences of being bullied. During the video, Amanda writes that when she was in seventh grade, she once used video chat to meet new people over the Internet and soon began receiving compliments on her looks. A stranger convinced Amanda to flash her breasts on camera. The stranger later blackmailed her with threats to expose the topless photo to her friends unless she gave a "show". She refused. She would never make that mistake again. Amanda Todd wrote that during the next Christmas break, police informed her at four am that the photo was circulating the Internet. Amanda wrote that she experienced anxiety, depression, and panic disorder because of this. Her family moved to a new home, where she later stated that she began using drugs and alcohol. A year later, the stranger had reappeared, creating a Facebook profile which used the topless photograph as the profile image, and contacting classmates at her new school. Once again she was being bullied, eventually causing her to change schools for the second time. With more bullying and an actual attack, she attempted suicide by drinking bleach, but was rushed to hospital to have her stomach pumped. After returning home, Amanda discovered abusive messages about her failed suicide attempt posted to Facebook. Once again, her family moved to another city to start fresh, but Todd was unable to escape Facebook and her first unfortunate error. Six months later further messages and abuse were still being posted to social networking sites. She started to get worse, and began cutting herself. Despite taking anti-depressants and receiving counseling, she overdosed and spent two days in the hospital. She was teased by other students at her school for her low grades, and the time she spent in the hospital to treat her severe depression. On October…
